Random musings and general banter.

That’s the acid text for the Group Captain. He comes over as sincere as you are allowed to be selling pillows etc. But what will he do when asked to spin the line a watch with a grossly inflated RRP of £1800 is only being sold for £400 on Ideal World because of free advertising savings. Whereas he should be selling along the lines of a decent quality £400 watch being good value for the money - sparing the hysterics and essentially, the lies. I would hope he would choose option two. But equally, that can’t be easy. And with that the viewing ban begins…

And as you're typing that Emma was failing that acid test miserably.

Just had Emma saying she thought the Duchump should win multiple awards!

I'll be amazed if Captain Knowles can get through a Duchump presentation without fibbing.

And if he gets the Zinc pee pants, will he be told to say people are multi-buying and not to miss out?

A Merry Xmas to all when it comes, have a good time.

I’m away for Christmas and won’t be posting (probably). I wish all my forum chums a very happy and peaceful Christmas. Thanks for all the humour, sarcasm and smut (you know who you are).

Smut? I don't know who you mean

Oh surely not pee pants on Christmas Day!

I think there is a grand misconception with the people who own these businesses, that the set in their ways, horrendously out of date in approach, main presenters option continues to be key still to shifting stock. I think they should have a think on that. Knowles and Remblance and somebody like a Heather character could replace the three big guns overnight, and as a result, they wouldn’t need to sell any air fresheners from then on.

ok, it would have a temporary financial implication for IW if it went wrong, however I would love them to conduct an experiment. Have a month of selling without the guff, the (sometimes extreme) stretching of the truth, and the lies. Either with the existing presenters (told in no uncertain terms to rein back on the aforementioned) or with different presenters who simply don't present in that outdated market stall manner.

I reckon their sales might increase.

Merry Christmas to all my fellow forumites. Thanks all for the laughs and the humorous pictures. There's been a few 'laugh out loud' moments but also a few yucky ones that have put me off my dinner!

Whatever you do, I hope you all have a nice day. I'll check out the YouTube feed occasionally and may have a quick look on here. But I'll probably eat too much and fall asleep watching TV.

Have a good day

Thing is,there is no doubt that Peter,Mike et al get a fair amount of viewers(us included) due to the fact they are so awful they are great to watch…and yes let’s admit we all love to watch them because of their spurious claims and ott performances and to catch them lying.
I love watching them in short bursts and the others just bore me..so from an IW perspective Pete and Mike obviously get the viewers BUT and it’s a big BUT for the WRONG reasons. In other words there are probably more viewers but I bet the sales do not correlate with the amount of viewers.

Just my opinion of course. And I reckon I am typical of members here in that we don’t really watch the Genevieve’s of this world,or any world even Ideal World..

Merry Christmas to all our readers. It’s been a privilege and pleasure to be here. So many laughs along the way and I for one look forward to the comedy duo M & P that we love to hate!

I think I probably am going to be banned from watching shopping television over the next two or three days. I just wanted to wish everybody a Happy Christmas and New Year. My partner and I live in separate houses and I have to be honest and say that when I am alone, albeit with the dogs, I can get pretty low at times. Posting and reading here, and feeling on this particular forum, a strong sense of camaraderie is a great emotional help when I do feel not at my best. Thank you to everybody, again, for creating that sort of environment.

Sorry to hear of your issues. Been there done that.
You are very valued on here. Remember that! Try to enjoy your Xmas which I know can be difficult.
Just post when you can and if you feel ‘down’.
Best wishes

It’s strange looking back to last night, I think a page got used with Alex and Joe on, where as if Pedro is on a shift this forum can do 4 hour pages

I see QVC are showing recorded programmes now, they must value and respect their staff. IW's owners just want to make money obviously.

Hope all is well DoC with you and the dogs, they can be such a comfort at times.

Miss not having anything four legged in the house, but not fair with me being out working most days and sometimes long hours, plus the times I would need to place them somewehere for a few days if I wanted to be away it would not be fair.
